Is it crazy to think the reason why Netflix keeps cancelling tv shows is bc they're using all the money for stranger things? lol

nothing is more subtle or more heartbreaking to me than alicent in the wedding feast scene. and half these shots dont even follow her, they follow viserys shes just in the background, (which just perfectly sums up the way alicent and her desires are stifled by viserys/his wants just btw)
so shes just watched whatever it was that was happening between daemon and rhaenyra. salt in a very fresh wound. and as far as i can work out was literally tearing up over it (if we look at the screenshot above). but then people are screaming and pushing and shoving and alicent instinctively gets up before anyone else at the table even does, still looking like shes about to cry the whole time, right up until the moment she realises its not just pushing and shoving - theres a fight happening exactly where rhaenyra was just a moment before, and suddenly her expression changes to this shot of her blatantly worrying about rhaenyra:
"but lydia, how do you know shes worried about rhaenyra? she could just be in shock at seeing the fight and concerned in general."
because its spelled out for us the next time we see her:
this shows us pretty obviously alicents only really interested in where rhaenyra is. this is a tv show, they don't show someone's reaction to something just for the sake of it and alicent is the only person we see react to rhaenyra being safe. she even appears to relax at the end, as if relieved.
this very clearly sets the stage for alicent's refusal to accept any physical harm to rhaenyra - so we can understand why she feels so much guilt and self-loathing over slicing open rhaenyra's arm, and why she is so adamant about protecting rhaenyra in episode 9 even after everything she and rhaenyra have put each other through. just as rhaenyra has a desire to reconcile with alicent she cant shake, reaching out for her even in moments when shes been given no reason to hope (like at the council in episode 6 and dinner in episode 8), alicent has this desperate need to make sure rhaenyra's safe, even at times when she has no intention of reconciling with her. even when shes at her most hostile, harbouring enough resentment to show up to rhaenyras wedding wearing a declaration of war, alicent still cant stomach the thought of rhaenyra being physically harmed. and it doesn't seem to be an aspect of her characterisation thats going anywhere anytime soon.

Can I point out something UNHINGED? (I mean, when is the shit i point out NOT unhinged?)
Okay, so, I'm skimming season 3, and you know Eddie's military stance, the way he sometimes stands, mostly at the beginning of season 2. Before the grenade, keeps the stance around Buck.
After the grenade, he drops it. Not that wild assumption that he trusts Buck at some level now. Even when he sometimes stands there like that waiting for orders or something, he doesn't do it around just Buck anymore.
After he kinda, just drops that, he doesn't just stands around in the stance.
BUT Season 3, divorced era, he goes back to the military stance. And sure you can blame the cart at the grocery because we can't see his whole body after he moves closer to Buck, but you can see the bend of his arm that makes it seem like he is keeping his arms in front of him like that and also in the way he's moving his hands as he talks.
And at the firehouse after Buck comes back, we see him pull the stance when Buck tries to talk to him. He shuts Buck out by going into soldier mode.
And he also keeps the stance randomly when he's hiding the fight club thing, but after that's out, he stops again.
Wanna know another time he pulls the fucking stance, this time with his hands behind his back, to be in a proper military waiting position? WHEN HE TELL EVERYONE HE'S LEAVING THE 118.
This is insane and so on character. Ryan Guzman I worship up you and your acting choices.
